Rohan Marley defends ex-girlfriend Lauryn Hill

Rohan Marley has come to the defense of his ex-girlfriend Lauryn Hill amongst claims by her former Fuggee bandmate Wyclef Jean, that she convinced him into believing he fathered her first child.

The son of Reggae legend Bob Marley said that “Wyclef  knew from jump that was my son from the day Lauryn was pregnant” and is “just saying false things to get book headlines”.

Wyclef Jean released his book Purpose: An Immigrant’s Story last week and in it revealed that he and Hill had an affair in 1996, the year her first child Zion David was born.

Rohan, who ended up having five children with the singer before they split up, says he has no plans to confront the Haiti-born rapper because “he knows he is fronting himself.”

Wyclef, who is still married to his wife of 18 years Marie Claudinette, is standing by his story, stating that the “idea of a memoir is to tell the truth. I know that often the truth hurts, but a lie hurts even more.”
